# Checkerboard Waffle Sneakers The Supra Skytop II Remix are Race-Worthy Hi-Top Shoes By Nikki Taylor | Published 2012-11-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supra-skytop-ii-remix References: [freshnessmag](http://www.freshnessmag.com/2012/11/20/supra-skytop-ii-remix-by-steve-aoki-chad-muska/) & [steveaoki](http://steveaoki.com/) The Supra Skytop II Remix is a funky fresh sneaker rearing and ready to navigate through the crowded lanes of life. Designed by Chad Muska and Steve Aoki, the checkerboard shoes wear the racing stripe like a bold accessory. The Supra kicks use a textured blue croc print to set them apart from all the other Skytop designs. The toe of the footwear is made of deep navy suede to catch the eye of shoe fanatics if they weren't already won over by the paneling. From the back these hi-tops include a blue embossed version of the Supra logo. The Supra Skytop II Remix sneakers won't hit stores until Sunday November 26th, so make sure you save some of that Black Friday money to get your hands on these baller status shoes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Textured Sneaker Designs:** The use of unique and textured materials for sneaker designs presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion and footwear industries. - **Bold Accessory Elements:** Incorporating bold accessory elements in sneaker design creates an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion and footwear industries. - **Collaborative Footwear Design:** Collaborative footwear design, such as the partnership between Chad Muska and Steve Aoki for the Supra Skytop II Remix, presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion and footwear industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in fashion include the use of unique materials for footwear designs and the incorporation of bold accessory elements. - **Footwear:** Collaborative footwear design, particularly between designers with distinct aesthetics, presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation. - **Sportswear:** Incorporating unique and textured materials, such as the croc print on the Supra Skytop II Remix sneakers, in sportswear design presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spring-Ready Stealthy Joint Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn.md) - [Hybrid Retooled Lifestyle Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-waffle-racer.md) - [Film-Inspired Shoe Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedcat-og.md) - [Slip-On Metallic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-superfly-moc.md) - [Ultra-Rare Collaboration Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supervsn-x-hoka-clifton-one9.md) - [Bold Futuristic Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clifton-one9.md) - [Sleek Laceless Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megaride-s2.md) - [Motorsport Heritage Mid-Top Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedcat-mid-clyde-royal.md) - [Racing Style Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedcat-plus.md)
